Sasha Schwenk
Sasha apprenticed on two small organic farms in the coastal hills outside of Eugene and in the Applegate Valley of southern Oregon before following her love of all things fermented, becoming a baker, cheese monger, and wine steward. Having worked for many progressive food organizations over the past twenty-plus years, she has an appreciation for our local food economy, as seen through a lens of equitable production and distribution, with a focus on the health of the communities and landscape where our food is grown.
She has braided together her love of microbes, soil health, and farming, and plans to add viticulture in the future.
When not managing spreadsheets for EMSWCD, you can find Sasha bird-watching, mushroom hunting, or hiking in the Gorge.
